HGTV Ranks as No. 1 Cable Network in Primetime in August

In August HGTV ranked as the #1 cable network in primetime (M-Su 8P-12A) among all W25-54 and among upscale W25-54 - the third month in a row that the network captured the #1 spot among women in these two demos. HGTV also achieved another record-breaking month in August, marking 15 consecutive months of year-over-year ratings growth among P25-54 for the network. Programs such as Beach Flip; Tiny House, Big Living; Property Brothers: BUYING AND SELLING and BEACHFRONT BARGAIN HUNT drove the network to a record-breaking August. In addition, HGTV ended its strong August performance with a #1 cable network ranking among P25-54 in primetime (M-Su 8P-12A) on Friday, August 28.

"The strong performances of our summer series continue to drive HGTV's ratings growth and help the network achieve another remarkable milestone," said Allison Page, general manager, HGTV, DIY Network and GAC.
